“It is vital that our young agricultural leaders understand the grain industry in Montana,” stated Cheryl Tuck, Information Specialist, with the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee.
She was talking to the state officers of the Montana FFA Association as they were about to take a four-day tour “following the grain” from Montana to the export terminals in Portland. The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee sponsor this educational activity. They also sponsor the state FFA agronomy winning team to take the same tour. For two years now, both groups have traveled together.

There’s a lot of excitement in the air at the high school gym these days.
The Cowgirl volleyball players are going through their practice routines under the watchful eyes of Coach Dale Janzen and assistant coach Rebel Rilley.
This year for the first time in many years, the coaches actually had to make cuts to trim the teams down to 26 players.
“We have some really good height this year and so much talent,” says Coach Janzen. “It’s going to be a good year on the courts for Conrad.”
